After several years I've decided to look at this thing again. The 3rd and last print issue of Subcide Zine came out in 1996. I gave up on completing the 4th issue sometime around 1999, after the contacts I'd made from doing the Zine allowed me to develop into an underground tour promoter (I brought Impaled Nazarene, Brutal Truth, Incantation, Pungent Stench and a number of others to New Zealand), which is something that has also since gone on hold. The idea behind this though is not to dominate every spare minute my entire (and now completely different) life, but to allow me to occasionally my thoughts on music I've been listening to as well as the occasional interview by bands who have impressed me. I'm also hoping to post PDF files of the original Zines sometime soon. This will be updated as and when I feel like it.
My first post is a review of the recent Auckland, NZ Nadja show, along with an over view of my merch stand purchases from the night.

I like the review of the Nadja CD
Worth noting also is the awesome cover and internal artwork of by Klawful, who has provided a gothic cartoon graphic for each of the songs, each featuring a caricature of Aidan and Leah.

'In my life so far, I have discovered that there are really only two kinds of people: those who are for you, and those who are against you. Learn to recognize them, for they are often and easily mistaken for each other.'

Thanks for the kind words. However your reference to the word gothic should be gothic or at least gothic.... at a stretch possibly even gothic

Nice, keep it up with the good work.
The Nadja interview is quite interesting.
In the letter you got from Euronymous, he keeps on referring to "HC pigs" and "HC labels"... what does HC stand for? Probably not Hard Core?

Thanks for the encouragement.
The letter was sent to a friend of mine who was doing a Zine from around 84 to 91. I think HC does stand for "Hard Core". The black metal scene had a lot of hate for it at the time.

A post on the Vanargandr facebook page says "Death monument "Uralten Todgeist" will be available no earlier than April 2012. Paradoxically, while there will be copies pressed, none will be available for sale for money. Limitation will not be disclosed, and all copies will be misnumbered".

Great Inverloch interview and it was very interesting to read what the Disembowelment guys have been up to! My local metal radio show recently played a song off the EP which was very Disembowelment like... I'll have to check it out. Disembowelment was an amazing band and way ahead of their time.
